F-TYPEPROJECT

Powerful, agile and distinctive, F-TYPE is a true Jaguar sports car. Engineered for high performance and instantaneously responsive handling,it was shaped by the ideas and inspiration of people right across our business – many of whom started with us as graduates. Our Design team delivered ground-breaking styling. Our engineers found ingenious ways to reduce weight, raise performance and minimise emissions. Powertrain and dynamics specialists ensured the smoothest and most engaging drive possible, and our electronics experts again reset the standards in terms of driver interface, in-car entertainment and industry-leading connectivity.

HR got the best people on the project, Finance ensured it was commercially viable and profitable, and IT kept everything moving forward from the start. Purchasing sourced and delivered the right components. Logistics got everything ready for worldwide delivery. Evaluation and Verification Engineering tested the vehicle mercilessly, and then Manufacturing brought our vision to life with processes as innovative as the car itself. And when all of this was in place, Marketing created our highly interactive ‘F-TYPE Desire’ campaign and the worldwide launch.

That meant a lot of time was spent out on the track, testing the vehicle’s response to a range of driving styles — from gentle ‘chauffeur stops’ and ‘pull-aways’ to aggressive braking and full throttle launches.

I worked with the Launch teams to ensure that we were 100% ready for production – including fine-tuning any issues. I see F-TYPEs in every spec and colour on a daily basis, but I still find myself staring on occasion – it’s a beautiful car and it’s a privilege to have a hand in producing it.

The team created an exclusive portfolio of one-off art pieces specifically for the launch of the F-TYPE. It was huge fun producing such visually inspiring pieces, but even better was the global exposure it gave – my designs were seen and admired all over the world.

I couldn’t have asked for a more incredible first role at Jaguar Land Rover. As part of the F-Type Product Development team,I worked proactively with engineering to ensure that we didn’t just create a truly incredible and worthy successor To the E-Type, but ALSO delivered on time and within budget.

GRADUATES WHO BROUGHT THE F-TYPE TO LIFE

As part of the Vehicle Engineering team I was able to play a key role in the technical delivery of F-Type, all the way from concept, through prototyping, to launch. That meant I was working and driving the F-Type nearly two years before the customer could get behind the wheel. Charlotte Acklam Programmes & Engineering University of ManchesterAerospace Engineering

As a team, we were heavily involved in the launch of F-Type. I worked closely on the ‘F-Type Magazine’ – a one-off special that was sent to customers around the world to coincide with the launch at the Paris Motor Show. Josh Moore Marketing, Sales & Service Lancaster UniversityBBA Management

We laid the foundations to make F-Type possible. And the result is nothing short of incredible. It is a prime example of everything JLR stands for: innovation, performance and quality. Sharon Gill Property Nottingham Trent UniversityProperty, Finance and Investment

F-TYPE Project

It’s not just on the road, in our offices and throughout our manufacturing facilities that we try to stay ahead. Always looking for new ways to give back, reduce our carbon footprint and minimise the impact of our products and operations, we take our responsibility to the environment and society very seriously. Not because we should, but because we want to. It’s this attitude that has seen us become the first automotive manufacturer to win the most prestigious sustainability business accolade in the UK — the Responsible Business of the Year award. But we won’t stop there. We are committed to creating a sustainable future and on our graduate programme you’ll be part of it. Participating in a CSR project, you’ll contribute to delivering results like these:

In the UK, more than two million young people have participated in our ‘Inspiring Tomorrow’s Engineers’ national education programme which aims to improve employability and promote engineering careers.

Since 2007 we’ve reduced European fleet tailpipe CO2 by 24%, operational energy consumption by 30%, waste to landfill per vehicle by 75% and water use per vehicle by 29%.

We offset 100% of our manufacturing assembly CO2 emissions across all our UK facilities and have launched a global Corporate Social Responsibility programme to create opportunities for 12 million people by 2020.
